I got my stent out yesterday. Much easier than getting it in.
I had to have a general anesthetic to get it and took it out in the dr's office.

I still have some infection. I am supposed to have another scan in a month. I told him that I have a plane ticket for then so he moved it up a week so we can see if everything is staying open before I travel.

He said he "hoped" this helps things. I didn't have any thoughts that it might not! I choose to still think that way. smile

One thing is that I am glad that I had cancelled my rhizotomy because the back pain was most definitely from my kidneys instead of the AS. We can really get tunnel vision as can the drs.

Thanks for your concern and encouragement.

Have a great day. Stay cool. It is another very hot day in OK.

Possi,

Thanks for the update and the good news. I hope you get clear of the little infection quickly and you get to take off. I will keep this as my prayer for you. You have such a great spirit.

Hello Possi,

Hope your kidney issues improve and trip is still a go. I know what you mean regarding tunnel vision with AS at times.

Best to you,

Tim

very hot out here also,
but it does cool off at night.

My kidney's shut down a few months ago.

But they have been good lately....I think.

Get well soon!!

Joyce, I'm glad to hear things seem to be improving. Good call on the rhizotomy!!

I love your catch phrase, by the way. Friends do sing it for you, don't they. smile

Love and hugs,
